I feel like him

chilling in the blonde boy zone.

Diverse friend group this. Diverse friend group that. I’m bisexual, Spud had an uncle from India, Begbie has a dangerous undiagnosed personality disorder and Sick Boy is half Italian. You can’t even hope to get on our level.

// Mark and Rip @skagb0y.bsky.social

( Rip's full trust yet had to be earned, but he chose to believe Mark right now. He sounded honest enough to dispel any doubts Rip might've had about Mark's genuine feelings. ) Good. If you do anyway, don't let me find out. >

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

(If only Rip knew how close he was to the truth. After all, how could a junkie like Mark get together enough money to fly to the states snd live without a job so far? Something definitely wasn’t adding up. Mark had left all of that out though, of course.) Love her? That ship had sailed years ago.—

( Completely cutting off everything and everyone from his previous life sounded too much like Mark was on the run. Why else would he do something like that? Rip was way too familiar with that pattern.>

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

I left. I didn’t say goodbye to anyone. Not my friends, not her, not even my parents. I just put a few things in place so my mom would hopefully not report me missin’, but I guess that’s still a real possibility. (He’d simply got up and left that day with nothing more than money and just enough—

You're right. Thanks, Mark.

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Why not? Maybe it feels nice to believe in good things occasionally

( What a heartwrenching story. Rip could swear that he'd only seen one of those in his mom's favorite soap operas when he was a kid. ) Jesus, Mark. You sound just like one of my buddies from college. The thing is that you're not gonna be able to keep anyone if you think like that.>

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

At first? Yeah. When we both tried to make it work as a real romantic relationship. (She was one of the best girlfriends he’d ever had. Almost definitely the most understanding.) After we realized it wouldn’t work out and we both needed a cover story? The answers still yes, but not as a—

You mean it was fate that we met?

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Yeah? Maybe that’s why you met me. I’ll keep that in mind.

You're such a sweet, sweet boy. Luckily I have a sweet tooth.

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

I’d rather not. It’s better when things are always smooth sailin’

I mean you could if you really wanted to. Wanna test my patience?

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

I’m sure I could find a way to make you mad, but I appreciate the sentiment

It's because you're sweet, Mark. I can never be mad at you, you know.

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Very sweet of you to say

You get what you give with me.

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

You’ve been nothin’ but good to me, if that’s any consolation.

I know, babes.

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

I know it’s not me. I just want you to know I’m not like that.

That someone wasn't you. I just told what happened on that picture.

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

I was just playin’ with you! Humans aren’t evil. We might fuckin’ suck sometimes, but we’re not evil.

( Rip hadn't heard about that sexuality before but it sounded like that girl was in the closet and Mark was her beard. Rip wondered what else had Mark gotten out of this other than showing off? Was that enough for him? ) Were you in love with her?>

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Hazel didn’t want her family and friends back home to know she was ace sexual or whatever her and her college friends called it. Her folks knew I was interested in all that shit, so we pretended to date so they would stop tellin’ her that the right dick would fix her. I didn’t have sex with her—

I was pissed because someone I thought was my friend talked to me like I was. . .well, evil. Like you said it.

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

You look like you’re schemin’. Very mischievous.

Still doesn't sound like a compliment to me.

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

/looked/ evil. Also different than being evil

Calling me evil isn't very nice. I have feelings too, you know.

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

I said you looked evil, not ugly. Two very different things

That's a very attractive picture of me, actually.

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

He looks a little evil, but I suppose that’s okay.

Why didn't you break up sooner then? I mean, you're not like her. . . Are you? ( A small hint of worry had crept up to the forefront of his mind. As someone who more than enjoyed sex, Rip didn't think he would be able to turn celibate.>

ʀᴇɴᴛʙᴏʏ@skagb0y.bsky.social · 11mo ago

She just— she hated it so bad it wasn’t worth tryin’ more than a couple times. It was the right thing to do. (Mark knew more than a few people who were exactly like those in Rip’s mind. It wasn’t too much of a surprise.) Am I? Thought I was doin’ the opposite.
